Here are some great twitter friends that I highly recommend following. They share some great information on the wedding video industry. The last two categories are very important people in the news industry.

These are my twitter recommendations for my friends who I met at the conference I spoke at this past week #WEVAEXPO

So #follow friday’s have been becoming much harder to do the more people I start to get to know on twitter. It really is hard to try and include everyone so what I have decided to do is put together a list of recommended twitter followers each week right here in a blog post on my site. This way im not spamming all the wonderful followers I have with tons of user names. So here it is my Follow Friday for August 6, 2010:

Tonight at 7:00pm Sarah Mclachlan will be performing a free concert for passengers and some lucky winners of a free ticket giveaway Jetblue held in New York City announced via their twitter account and facebook account. I will be covering the event shooting both video and photos for my website as well as for Jetblue. Stay tuned to jetblue’s social media accounts for images from the show as well as my website.

The love of foursquare has grown even more now that Marketfair mall in Princeton New Jersey has created a reserved parking spot for the mayor of the mall on foursquare. Tristanwalker announced on twitter at 10:23am about the awesome new special for foursquare players.

Foursquare mentioned on facebook today:
“what happens when you mix a mayor Special with a little bit of awesome? http://yfrog.com/n0xy9j (marketfair mall in princeton, nj) “

This week facebook will reach its milestone of 500 million users this week and to celebrate they are announcing a new marketing initiative called “Facebook Stories”.

A website within facebook that will contain stories submitted by users telling how facebook has changed impacted their lives. The initiative will be announced when they mark the milestone. Many of the stories have already been gathered over the years and facebook finally felt it would be time to celebrate its passionate users by sharing their stories. Other users will be able to “like” any story and the most popular one will be featured.

Randi Zuckerburg says that ” facebook has seeded the selection with about 200 text stories it has, asking users again for permission to feature them.

But the point is to open the page up to all users to submit their tale in 420 characters,  the same number as a status update on facebook.The story cano also be linked to the user’s profile.”

Zuckerberg, who said she would be adding her own story, said her favorite so far has been the story of a group that coalesced on Facebook to save an old theater in Kentucky.

“We really think by surfacing these stories, users can explain what Facebook is a lot better than we can,” said Zuckerberg.

The website is designed by two outside firms, social marketing company involver and JESS3, a design, branding and data visualization firm.

Before the launch of “Facebook Stories” next week, you can start the tale-telling now here, using a newly tweaked form, pictured below (click on it to make image larger):

July 15th I had the pleasure of a phone call from the famous Thomas Roberts who has done some great interviews with some really important people in the industry for his company TRStudios and Jag35.com. You can also follow him on twitter. Here is the interview we did yesterday.
